Beth the Bard

She/Her

Beth is a professional, therapeutic Dungeon Master that as run more than 1,000 D&D games! She's the best-selling and award-nominated TTRPG author of She is the Ancient, a Curse of Strahd supplement. She writes for companies such as Modiphius and Dungeon in a Box and runs TTRPG University, a hub of courses and information for industry enthusiasts and professionals. She and her partner have created Bardhouse Studios, a TTRPG publishing company for creatives.

Game Style

Every table she runs is a welcoming and collaborative space where player backstories, goals, and choices directly shape the unfolding narrative. Whether you are a veteran adventurer or new to roleplaying, Beth ensures you feel seen, supported, and empowered to bring your character to life.

Her games emphasize narrative-driven combat, rich roleplay, and morally complex choices—always with a touch of humor and chaos to keep players on their toes. Expect evocative NPCs, vividly described settings, and storylines that weave the fantastic with the profoundly personal.

With Beth at the helm, the game is not just played—it is lived.
